Supporters of greyhound racing are already devising a plan to challenge the Government's ban on the industry.  

The Racing Minister's announced plans to wind it down over 20 months, giving time to re-home almost 3000 racing dogs.  

Legislation has passed in the house under urgency today to prevent the greyhounds being killed as a result.  

Greyhound Racing NZ Chief Executive Edward Rennell told Heather du Plessis-Allan that there’s a lot of misinformation out there regarding greyhound racing. 

He says they owe it to the 1054 people employed by the industry to outline the steps they’ve taken regarding animal welfare as they believe they have appropriate standards in place.
